Noob Question About Mic Setup

My mic will not register that i am talking into it even tho it shows up in the 'recording devices.' I have it set on default

- i have tried using it on another windows 10 laptop and it instantly works
-I have updated all drivers through MSI
- I have uninstalled sound drivers/mic drivers in device manager and reset
- i have tried updating drivers in device manager and resetting
- i have tried different ports
- i have checked to see if it was muted and increased the boost in mic properties
- i have tried troubleshooting in hardware and sound
- I have tried reinstalling all windows updates
- I have tried 'set up mic function' it doesn't pick up any noise
- i have tried calling microsoft and msi tech support, Microsoft wants a 100 usd for 'real' tech support msi couldnt help me and suggested more of the same
- i have tried mostly all the troubleshooting on google results and many YT videos suggesting the same things listed above

After the MSI Live Updated it now notifies me that i have plugged it an and i can see what slot it is plugged into in realtek sound manager but still no green bars in 'recording devices' when i talk into it.

I have completely exhausted my personal capabilities i don't wanna cave and give Microsoft another $100 for them to tell me: reinstall windows, that is not a 'fix' in my book

Please help any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

USB Mic Problems.

The next step is what I suggested originally. Try it in a friend's PC or take it to Best Buy and ask them to try it one of their PC's. Have to confirm the mic is working OK.

 

Buzzing noise coming from Mic

Didn't know where to post and what topic to pick so I'm going to try here...

as the title suggests I have been hearing intermittent buzzing noises coming from my Microphone as well as people that I'm communicating with...they tell me the noise is unbearable. I can hear it faintly but the people on the other end that I'm talking
with in skype or what ever voip I'm using are saying it gets extremely loud. Note that it's not a static sound it is a buzzing sound as if someone is getting electrocuted

I have tried many things to fix or correct the problems doing the following

-trying a different mic

-switching from usb to pins and vice versa

-trying different usb slots both front and back of case

-reformatting computer

-checking to see if motherboard is properly secure and grounded to tower

-grounding the case using a copper wire

-trying different outlets

-adjusting sound settings

I would like to note that I also used my microphone on my laptop and the noise was happening ONLY in my room where the desktop computer is located....I was not hearing the noise coming from my laptop in other rooms. This suggests that there might be something
wrong with my room that's discharging some sort of EM field. If this is the case do I need an electrician to check my room?

Any advice or help on this matter would be greatly appreciated
